Best Answer

You will probably want to wear leather gloves, jeans, and long sleeved shirts. This is in a dry cave where you will not swim in aquifers.

It is recommended to wear moisture-wicking clothing that can keep you dry and warm, along with sturdy pants and a long-sleeved top to protect your skin. A helmet with a headlamp, sturdy boots with good grip, and gloves are essential for safety. Layering clothing is key to regulating body temperature in the cave environment.

Who invented caving?

The sport of caving, also known as spelunking, does not have a specific inventor. Exploring caves has been a part of human history for thousands of years, with early humans seeking shelter or resources in natural underground formations. The modern recreational activity of caving has evolved over time as people became more interested in exploring caves for adventure and scientific discovery.


What is the name of a person who explores caves?

A CAVER - as simple as that, throughout the English-speaking caving world. Someone who studies caves and their contents scientifically is a Speleologist - though he or she is still a caver because you have to be able to negotiate caves in order to study them!

Where can you find crystal caves?

Crystal caves can be found in various locations around the world, including Mexico, Iceland, and Spain. Some popular crystal cave destinations include the Cave of the Crystals in Naica, Mexico, the Vatnajรถkull Glacier Crystal Caves in Iceland, and the Crystal Cave in Nymmegen, Spain.


What is it called when you explore caves?

Caving - as simple as that. If the trip is genuine exploration, i.e. by the cave's discoverers as they find it, then we will use the word "explore", but it is used loosely as after all, if you have never previously visited the cave it is your personal exploration of it. It is NEVER called "spelunking" - that's a US-only word that was coined legitimately by a group of cavers for themselves, but later became a slang term of derision aimed at novices and dilettantes!
